“Liz is great! So communicative and thorough in how to take care of the pups. During the visit, numerous updates were provided and was super detailed about how everything went. Would definitely recommend her :)”

“Svetlana took excellent care of my cat while I was away for four days. My cat is quite timid and tends to hide from strangers, but Svetlana didn’t rush him or force interaction. She was patient, loving, and sent great updates that made me feel at ease. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“I highly recommend Tiffany and Steve! They are very professional and communicate clearly and timely and take the took the time to engage and play with Millie!”

“Emily is amazing and truly loved pups. I truly felt so safe having her there and in our home! I’m definitely excited to work with her in the future and I’m super grateful for her.”

“Savannah was great with my 7-month-old puppy! Good communication, on time, provided pictures, took her on nice walks, played with and handled her appropriately. Think that my pup liked Savannah more than me Will be using again, would recommend!”

“Cora took such great care of Newbury while I was away. I got pictures and updates after every one of their walks and Newbury had such a great time with her ?”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home ever since I was a kid, caring for them at every stage of life. Our most recent family dog lived for 15 years, and I was actively involved in feeding, walking, bathing, and providing companionship. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to look after their pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I’m currently available full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I offer flexible availability for boarding, walks, and check-ins, including weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to play. Plus, I live near multiple dog parks that I can easily walk to for extra exercise and socialization. My home is pet-friendly, and I can accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pup.
“Cat was so great with our two cats while we were away. She followed the instructions and gave detailed updates & visit summaries. It was a relief to know they were in such good hands.”

“Arianna took great care of our cats while we were away! She was very communicative and timely. Our cats are both very social and she did a great job of giving them attention, playing with them, and petting them. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Emily was wonderful when I was out on a vacation!! My automatic litter box kept getting stuck when I was abroad and she was patient with the device the whole time. She even checked the home for any accidents from my cat and was reliable with her check-ins. This was also a last-minute booking and she squeezed it in her schedule. Highly recommend thank you again so much!”

“Erin was great!! My cat can be temperamental and easily overstimulated, he seemed to do really great with her. She went above and beyond of what was asked of her. I got lots of pictures every day of what the two of them were doing. It was nice to come home to his automatic feeder being full, and his litter tray from his automatic litter box emptied. She was very friendly when meeting her, I would absolutely trust her again and rebook in the future. :)”

“Annaliese has checked in on our very shy kitty a couple times - she is one of the few people Lola will come out for. Great communication and detailed report cards. Awesome sitter all around :)”


About: I'm Karrysen and I have been living in the city for about 6 years now, originally from Maine and grew up with a Golden Retriever. I work hybrid in the city and unfortunately my landlord won't let us have own a dog - so I'm always looking for a new buddy to play with. I already walk several times a day to break away from my desk and enjoy bringing a dog along with me. I've been the primary caretaker of family dogs since I was a teen and have walked and dog-sat friends' and neighbors' dogs throughout high school and into college. I like to keep a brisk walk with the idea that we both feel like we got some exercise, but of course depends what your dog is up for (I can tell pretty quickly and adapt accordingly). I love all dogs and would be happy to meet and love your pets! I currently am in between jobs / working remote - very flexible. Live in Jeffries Point East Boston - easy access to blue line and also have a car. I treat them as if they’re my own fur babies! I absolutely love all dogs big and small and pay attention to details given by pet owners
“Soli is amazing! Such a wonderful, kind, and professional catsitter. Especially appreciate her persistence and patience in resolving a house access issue due to a miscommunication that was squarely on our end. Would recommend Soli to any cat parents without reservation and will likely book her again if we need to use Rover!”

“Amanda took excellent care of our two cats! She communicated and provided updates. We had an issue with our key copy and she was very patient and flexible while we got it resolved. I really recommend Amanda!”

“Thank you again for being such an amazing cat sitter for Wilma. You were so kind and professional- and helpful when she got a little litter box confused. Absolutely will rebook :)”

Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and everything was perfect. We truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

The best of the best!! Mary Kate loves Betty like her own and it’s evident in her care for her. I also had a small issue with something in my apartment and Mary Kate was communicative, flexible, and a HUGE HELP to get it resolved!! Thank you so so so much as always :)

Courtney was absolutely fantastic! She went out of her way to make a special trip to meet Dolly beforehand, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. She took wonderful care of my cat and was incredibly accommodating when an issue came up with the key. I had unfortunately left her with a lock that wasn’t working properly, and she handled the situation with patience and resourcefulness. I felt completely at ease knowing Dolly was in such caring and capable hands.

I’m lucky my 17 yr old cat has Grace to look in on him. She’s very responsive to his needs, whether it is to play or sit and be scratched under the ears. She’s sends reports so I don’t worry about him. Grace is his favorite. He tells me by how calm and content he is when I get home.
Reilly stopped by and fed my cats while I was away for a few days, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care that was provided! I felt comfortable knowing my cats were well taken care of, and Reilly is great about communicating and following directions. So glad that I found Reilly on Rover!

Melis is an amazing pet sitter! She is always so communicative and provides updates every time she visits. My pet is so comfortable with her and it gives me such peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of, I always come home to a happy pet! Cannot recommend Melis enough, I’ve had her pet sit for me multiple times and will continue to ask her to watch my pet! Thank you!

Ariana did a great job with Piper! We have a tricky automatic wet feeder and she handled it with no problem. She was attentive and quick to share extensive updates and pictures of Piper twice a day, and it was such a relief to have a reliable sitter taking care of her while we were gone! :)

Anna did an incredible job of looking after our cat Cam while we were away for two weeks. She was great about sending us updates and pictures each day, and was quick to respond with all my questions while we were away. It felt good knowing that we left Cam in good hands. Anna will be our first choice the next time we need a sitter.
